Not 90's thing, but Leia's birthday doesn't make any sense, she celebrates her 15th birthday in that summer, that means she was born in 1980, but because in That 70's Show Donna and Eric didn't reunited until the last day of 1979, and pregnancy take 9 months, she could not be celebrating her 15th birthday until at least late september-early october, way after the summer has gone and school starts...
@@jermaineanthony7794 there are still staf that aren't correct there, I remember staff that Barry did that were in the 90's or that Adam finish school in the 90's in real lode, but in the sereies he started college in the 80's...
THANK U! kudos to danielle. total smug nitpicking. I wanna tell the nitpicker chick " and yet THEY are famous household names on TV and YOU are not!!!"
Agreed that the fashion is what is the worst thing about the 90s that "That 90's Show" gets wrong. It is way too modern looking. They could have easily gotten clothing from the 90s online. You can finds a lot of 90s clothing on Ebay for example.
Actually going thrift shopping is going to look 90's from a modern perspective. Even when the clothes were more faded or torn in style, they wouldnt look vintage like actual 90s clothes do today.
I see everyone hear saying agree, but I don't get it. I was there. Clothing hasn't changed all that much since the 90s. What exactly were you expecting to see?
That is what I thought. It just reminded me of hipster cringe trying to be ironic. There a lot of different types of fashion, music and shows/films that was overlooked. There was barely any mention to grunge music in this.
That’s exactly right, grunge was big in the 90s as well as Goth and rave music. I may of been a child in the 90s but even I know what is 90s and what is bloody woke.
As a 90s kid myself. It was both good and bad. You had fun with collecting Pokemon cards and watching Saturday morning cartoons. But you also casually said words that are bigoted and insulting. Even some of the jokes were dated and cruel, some were decent and funny and harmless.
What bothered me more is how they portrayed weed high. You don’t hallucinate like that. Lol That 70’s Show moving background is more accurate(closer to drinking).
It shouldn't have been that hard to do correct set dressing for a show set in the 1990s. Lots of us were there--and you can obviously to still find the commercials with original packaging!
True but they're not going to make the main cast homophobic. It wouldn't suprise me if later on some background characters are homophobic twords Ozzie to show his struggles in season 2 if they make a season 2.
My biggest issue was Leia's age. That 70s show ended as they entered 1980. Unless Donna was pregnant when the show ended, there's no way Leia is turning 15. And if Donna was pregnant early enough to have a baby in August of 1980, then Eric can't be the father.
It's possible. Let's say Eric & Donna slept together on New Year's Day. Leia's 15th birthday is sometime in mid-July to early August 1995. Leia could've been born premature. Now Jay Kelso being 16 and Jackie's son is impossible.
The song "you oughtta know" was released on July 6, 95 but the album was released June 13, 95. Plus they are chatting about bootlegs so I think this one fits.
Bro was definitely around in 90s and especially in pop culture in general with the biggest video game franchise at the time literally being called "Super Mario Bros."
Mario was not super popular in the mid 90’s. It still popular but Sonic was way more cool. Sonic was most popular during the Genesis days. Donkey’s Kong’s revival was super popular in the mid 90’s
What I think they got wrong were the boys hairstyles, the mushroom haircut of 1995 was parted down the middle, in this show they kinda had the same hair Kelso had in the 70's
You all can say what you want but when they all went running outside to "No rain" I legit teared up a little bit. If they dial in the clothes a little more for next season and get the rights to some more true 90's bangers people are going to watch. I'll take some Collective Soul and TEB soon please. :)
Considering that every star wars product and toy shown on the original show was a 1990s version, I think a few, off year 90s reference on this one, is not so bad
For me they got almost everything wrong about the 1990s from the clothing to the way kids back than talked. Not to mention all the visual inaccuracies like Doritos bags and Pringles packaging not looking the way they did back in 1995, movies on the shelves which came out AFTER 1995, cultural references from the late 1990s, the list goes on. The whole show was just lazy writing after lazy writing. It just wasn't believable, you could tell the show was written by people who weren't kids in the 1990s and have no idea what it was like to be a kid in that era.
@@tarik6990 its not a bad show tho. It was actually pretty good. Definitely not as good as the original but we need to remember that this is just season 1. I'm sure by season 2 things will get better. They just needed to introduce the characters to us first.
No they weren't and I was the same age as these teens in 1995. Every show has gotta have gay people thrown in your face nowadays so they followed suit.
Technically yes You Oughta Know came out July 6 BUT I looked it up the album it’s on Jagged Little Pill came out on June 15 so technically the song was out on July 4. And unless you’re in Radio you’re more likely the have the album than the single.
The way they are dress are not 90s if the makers of the show really wanted the 90s look they should have looked at show like full house,sister sister, Sabrina the teenage witch, and Clarissa explains it all. Heck look at Lizzie McGuire it was from 2001 but still close enough from hold overs form the 90s.
People who notice these things need a life and to find better things to do, especially noticing video tapes in the background that are not visible unless you pause and use a magnifying glass.
I want a "Top 10 Things That '70s Show Gets Wrong About the 70s". Some inaccuracies there included the gang going to Six Flags Great America, except it wasn't called Six Flags Great America until the '80s, and other stuff that came out that decade (ie: Rainbow Brite and Sophie's Choice: The Movie - the latter even falls as a similar example to the first bullet you pointed at #10 in this video). Countries non-existent in the '70s are also referenced.
@@jimbo9208 It's not out of the ordinary to learn lyrics to a song in 20 days. I also assume the CD had a lyric sheet, so it makes even more sense that she'd memorize the lyrics.
that 70 show started in the late 70's too. Eric sees Star Wars 1st or 2nd season & it came out in 1977 but the show ran 8 seasons. Don't look to these shows for continuity.
That's mainly because the early 70s still felt like the mid- late 60s, so the creators wanted to start it later on in the decade. I think they even chose 1976 so they could do a Star Wars episode (As mid-way through season 1, the year changed to 1977). The creators had no way of anticipating that the show would go on for 8 seasons, so it's not totally their fault they stayed so long in 1978 😂 Sure they could have either stopped after season 4 or 5, but the show was so successful, of course they'd continue on. They also could have continued onto the '80s, but that ruins the premises of the show
@loganarnoldkicks4321 you can say that about any decade. The early years always feel like the previous. Early 90's stuff feels very 80's. As someone who turned 13 in 1999, it all felt very 90's to me. Besides that, the timeline wouldn't really make sense for the early 90's since they were practically in the 80's when the last show ended & they have a teenager now. Regardless, the predecessor set the standard for suspending disbelief.
Perhaps they show the happenings of many days too. There ARE 365 days in a year, and many episodes could have split one day into two or three episodes. Think this way: one episode in school or just after school, another episode one that same day focusing on their food hangout or smoking in the basement, than one on their nighttime activity.
That Cheez-It box near the Pringles was wrong as well. It has the little green logo meaning they are White Cheddar Cheezits which didn't come out until the 2000's.
Number 8 could have been another Tad Nugent situation. Number 6 is a stretch since Leia was hallucinating and could have come up with the updated design herself. (Maybe it's foreshadowing?) Number 5 could be that Nate is such a Packers fan that he got the jersey custom made. Number 3, you sufficiently explained.
Also, with Leia's hallucination, a lot of us thought video game graphics looked THAT high quality to us, despite how it actually looks. We just didn't notice until those graphics aged.
Okay I can explain the early copy if Jagged Little Pill. That song had traction at the time so the album was really hyped. If you were a savvy music fan you had that one music store you would go to because they would just put stuff out well before the the street date. Plenty of my CDs were acquired days before the actual release date.
It's actually easier than that. Jagged Little Pill was released in June 1995. The single was released in July. But you're definitely right about having the right hook ups at a music store. I used to get some tapes a week early. Memories.
I have a curious question. Would Ozzie be safe coming out in the 1990s? I was a grammar school kid in the 90s, but I remember it wasn't easy for the LGBT community back then. Sure we had Ellen and Will and Grace, but that doesn't mean homophobia wasn't common, especially in grammar schools, the most common homophobic joke was "are you gay? Does your momma know you're gay?" Either answer to that was a trap.
I wish we can go back to that. Don't support mental illness. Instead of now... where that sh*t is being shoved down our throats at every waking moment. It's an abomination Sign of the times.
The slang, the outfits of the adults (Red dresses like a teenage grunge fan.) the music references of songs that haven’t been released, the openness and acceptance of childhood homosexuality the graphics in Leia’s hallucination. They got it all wrong.
@@scottyprince87 seen the crow countless times... "I'll get right on it" does not count and nobody said totes... they said "Totally" not totes... I was 15-25 during the 90's I lived it so nobody is going to push me into believing something happened when it absolutely did not.
Cassette tapes were very popular then CD players weren't so popular because they skipped you sneeze or bumped them very gently they skipped. In my town in the 90s the adult section was behind the checkout counter with a heavy curtain.
As a kid who had his head stuck in those big ass Sony headphones. I stuck with tapes way after CDs became the norm. Reason being. More durable, could carry more and Walkmans were better suited for movement than Discmans.
Our dirty mags in the store were just the top rows of a section in clear wrap. They changed to black in like 2000ish and then faded out. It's just different where ever you go.
I’m lost on the ‘itos comment. I remember all those snacks. Now the logos were wrong but we had all those chips when I went to school. I remember when cool ranch hit the shelves when I was in school. So… what is futuristic about that besides the logos?
9:08 Actually, the album had already came out on June 13, 1995. The single version of the song is the one that came out on July 6, 1995, not Jagged Little Pill itself. It had already been out for two weeks on the date the show’s pilot took place on. And even if that was the case, the song would have already been on the radio airwaves.
I just can't get past the horrible acting. I don't believe any of the kids. They don't mesh together like the 70s show. They look like they're all trying waayy too hard.
It's literally their first 10 episodes and they're 3-4 years younger than all the actors except Mila Kunis in the first season of that 70s show. That's a huge experience gap when you're entire time on earth is 15 or 16 years. The last 4-5 episodes were markedly better than the first half of the season. I look for that continuity to get better as they go along and get to know each other more offscreen. Gotta remember stuff is filmed differently today than it was back in 1998. These kids probably only knew each other for a couple weeks before they filmed the entire 10 episodes. That 70s show had 25 episodes the first season and they were literally only making 1 per week so that means they basically were all hanging out together for months on end. So by 5-6 episodes in, they had already been around each other more than these kids did filming this entire season. I think given all that and the fact that they're all 15-16 years old, they did a pretty decent job for the first 10 episodes. I look for it to feel more natural this season, and getting 6 more episodes helps too.
Anybody who considered themselves edgy or a "riot grrl" in the 90s would NEVER have listened to Alanis. She was extremely mainstream and indie types would scoff at anyone listening to it.
I totally agree. I listened to a lot of female musicians as a teen in the ‘90s and I never liked Alanis. You Oughta Know did not feel authentic to me. It seemed like she was just trying to cash in on female rage since it was trendy at the time. I preferred listening to bands like Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, Hole, L7, and Babes in Toyland when I wanted to let out my angst.
@@besskorey7403 Yeah. My husband listened to those bands and rolled his eyes when I was describing the “Riot Grrrl” was singing Alanis. He was all, “It was a ‘zine by Bikini Kill to review their favourite bands by their friends! It wasn’t a “movement”’ as he sighed heavily. 🤣
@@besskorey7403 For real, Alanis was only a Riot Grrl for the group of women that would come to be be called "soccer moms". The kind of stuff mom and her friends would crank up and drunkenly sing along to when they swam too deep into the ever present box of Franzia in the fridge at the family barbecue lol. A few years after this it was Shania Twain
this make me in tears. because i grew up in the 2000's and even back then if you were gay or lesbian you would be outcasted, abused, bullied, and back then there was no LGBTQ++ movement. sure gay people existed and i personally know one guy at my high school that was bullied to the extreme. but back then even if you were gay and bullied the authorities or the "system" would not care about you because being gay considerd a bad thing. even by the media. its funny how the media today is preaching for LGBTQ acceptence. in the 2000's they were laughing at them and even bullied them on national TV. so you tell me that teenagers in the 90's would just accept a gay guy like that? no frikin way. being gay and even being open about it in the 90's was a death sentence. in reality he would be bullied and isolated hard
Getting your “groove” back was a saying in the black community before “how Stella got her groove back” came out yt people literally don’t understand the culture though and this channel always proves it
Season 2 of That 90s Show? I say add Culver's to the mix, along with Copps Food Center aka Pick N Save, Wisconsin Dells, Menards and Johnsonville! I will love you even more for it.
Is it me? I don't remember people using the word "rando" in the 90s. I figured that term came about due to engaging with random people on the internet post 90s.
I've heard people complain about the Donkey Kong stuff, but I think it looks like a fine representation of DKC's CGI-into-sprite graphics considering she envisioning it over her three-dimensional grandparents
@@54raynor RIght, but it's specifically referencing Donkey Kong. But I think it's close enough to the 3D models converted into sprites to still be a decent reference.
@@theotakux5959 for sure a decent reference, and it wouldn’t be much of a stretch for a hallucinating person to merge the design of Donkey Kong with the top graphics of the day.
the computer. presumably it's win95, released August 24 Leia's 15th birthday is July 19 (show wiki) Speaking of, neither Donna nor Jackie was pregnant on NYE 1979... nor were either with their respective partners.
When Ozzie went bungee diving X2 roller coaster was in the background. It came out in 2002 and was pink then. Plus it’s in Six Flags Magic Mountain in California.
The original show labeled each year the season took place in too, and it was also filled with inaccuracies. This is just the reality of making period pieces and making do with whatever props you have
What Nate’s Packers jersey actually says is that he is a fan of both the Green Bay Packers and North Carolina Tar Heels. While William Henderson was not drafted by the Packers until that April, he had played four years of college football at North Carolina. It’s very believable that Nate would be drawn to Henderson naturally as both a fan and a player of the sport, since neither plays what could be considered a glamorous position.
Its a guilty pleasure for me as I am of exactly the same age as most of the kids on the show, but man there are a lot of anachronisms. You'd think there would have been somebody willing to do a little more fact checking when they were doing the episode, I mean jesus just pull out your smartphone and do a Google search. That's the thing that bugs me the most, the fact that they could have easily resolved all the mistakes but they just didn't care to.
The video game graphics was done that way for two reasons. First, licensing from Nintendo is expensive. Two, the alteration is just for the story. Also, Jagged little pill songs did play on the radio prior to the album release to promote sales.
Just because the single wasn't out doesn't mean the whole album hadn't been released. A quick Google search shows Jagged Little Pill being released in June of 95 I am more irritated by the overuse of bro in a Midwest suburb. I can only explain it away by convincing myself that 9ne of them had just come back from vacation from someplace it was used.
The World I Know wasn't released until October of 1995. I guess it's more about nostalgic memories than details, lending weight to the fan theories about That 70s Show that we're not in "real time" but in the head of one of the characters (most popularly Fez).
But the album "Collective Soul" was released in March 1995. "The World I Know" was released as a single in October that year. It's the same thing this channel got wrong about the Alanis Morrisette song. The album "Jagged Little Pill" was released in June 1995, the single released later.
The Grove back comment was something sad before the movie came out. . . The movie stole it from normal people saying it. Plus the movies are always behind in trends
You're going to have to do another video to follow up on the next 2 seasons. For example they've got the wwe title belt, and in the 90s the belt was still the wwf belt, and they have a lotion heat version of Eddie Guerrero poster in the wrestling episode and that when he had short hair. He didn't have short hair until his ruthless aggression era run before he unfortunately passed away.
Disagree with the donkey kong scene. 1. youre not getting the rights from nintendo to copy anything donkey kong or make it even remotely close, hense the wild CGI versions. We ALL knew what they are going for. and 2. when hasnt someone went back and played a game from their childhood, only to remember it not looking anything like it did when you played it originally. We always think old school games looked way better than they did before actually playing them again. Hence the more HD CGI. Thats how we all saw the games we played in our heads.
Personally I don't care 👌🏼 It's a show set in the 90s it's not meant to be taken that deeply just let things be. I don't know about you but it's not that deep.
@@jimbo9208 if only it was about the 90s. But it's not even focused on that. They're focused on the lives of people. So again it shouldn't be that deep if you wanna see a show based on 90s things go watch that. The main focus is on characters.
I'll excuse the three-day timeline gaff on the Alanis Morrisette release, but the lack of research on the background foods in the scenes is off-putting! Gen X and Millennials will easily remember the partially white background on the Doritos bags. I don't keep up with football, so I wasn't aware of those. Also, due to the Batman Forever hype, I remember Seal's "Kiss by a Rose" playing all over the radio, constantly, non-stop... surprised they didn't play into that one.
You think this is something? In the S03E06 episode of The Wonder Years ("Odd Man Out"), it's supposed to take place in 1969 yet Kevin is clearly shown holding a handful of 1989 Topps cards! I guess Kevin must have a Delorean in his garage???
This show was terrible and completely inaccurate. Fez’s dumb commercial was in Widescreen and HD and the effects looked like modern effects you can get today. The Pinciotti Kitchen layout is completely wrong and Donna’s bedroom was never in the first level. The thing that bothered me the most was Brian Austin Green’s appearance. He’s like 50 now and they had him play himself in the 90s and he was not 50 in the 90s.

@ Ms Mojo some of y'all fact-checkers need to do a better job
Also in the 90s movie stayed in the theaters for about 6-7 months
TBH I never noticed those little inaccuracies in the series. And now that I know about them. I don't care. I still love this series.
The Pepsi logo in the video store wasn’t released until 1998
Jumping in to say that "Jagged Little Pill" dropped on *JUNE 15, 1995*
"You Oughta Know" was released on July 6 as a single.
Not to mention that songs would often be released to radio and MTV playlists several weeks before being released as a single
It's not bad but the Disney theatrical acting from the kids, especially Ozzie, kills it for me
This type of nitpicking is the reason why the Goldbergs always just simply say, "It was 1980 something".

Getting your groove back has been a phrase since the 70's.
The guys calling each other "bro". Pretty sure nobody (that I knew of, anyway) was using that term for their friends in the 90's.
Totally, that shizz is totally 2010's or even 2020's
I said "dude" in the 90's
I heard both bro and dude
Bro was definitely around in 90s and especially in pop culture in general with the biggest video game franchise at the time literally being called "Super Mario Bros."
Mario was not super popular in the mid 90’s. It still popular but Sonic was way more cool. Sonic was most popular during the Genesis days. Donkey’s Kong’s revival was super popular in the mid 90’s
Yeah I didnt think Alannis was considered a riot gurl to me. She was more along the lines of grunge era

An openly gay teen is just not realistic in the 90s
But he isnt openly gay. He's out to his friends and Kitty.
@Jermaine Anthony Alright. Whatever you say bud
@Jermaine Anthony Are... we... speaking the same language? Did I ask for explaining?
how is it not gay people have been around since day one
No they weren't and I was the same age as these teens in 1995. Every show has gotta have gay people thrown in your face nowadays so they followed suit.
Technically yes You Oughta Know came out July 6 BUT I looked it up the album it’s on Jagged Little Pill came out on June 15 so technically the song was out on July 4. And unless you’re in Radio you’re more likely the have the album than the single.
I had that Green Day shirt Gwen is wearing lol. I was happy to see that
You want to see a more accurate depiction of the 90's? Watch Married With Children & My So Called Life. This show doesn't even come remotely close.
The hairstyles are way off. It wasn't even close to how we wore our hair.
The way they are dress are not 90s if the makers of the show really wanted the 90s look they should have looked at show like full house,sister sister, Sabrina the teenage witch, and Clarissa explains it all.
Heck look at Lizzie McGuire it was from 2001 but still close enough from hold overs form the 90s.
People who notice these things need a life and to find better things to do, especially noticing video tapes in the background that are not visible unless you pause and use a magnifying glass.
it's a comedy not a documentary, lighten up!!🙂
@@duck-ng8hv exactly my point lol.
You do know this is their actual job
Not sure if anyone caught the Lobster reference, but that episode of Friends is season 2 and didn’t air until February of 1996
I want a "Top 10 Things That '70s Show Gets Wrong About the 70s". Some inaccuracies there included the gang going to Six Flags Great America, except it wasn't called Six Flags Great America until the '80s, and other stuff that came out that decade (ie: Rainbow Brite and Sophie's Choice: The Movie - the latter even falls as a similar example to the first bullet you pointed at #10 in this video). Countries non-existent in the '70s are also referenced.
The one that really jumped out to me was when Eric had a lightsaber toy with a green blade. It wasn't even the one Luke built, it was Qui-Gon's!
Google says the album, Jagged Little Pill was released on June 13, 1995.
still how did she learn the lyrics that fast
@@jimbo9208 She's literally listening to the song on tape and singing along. Plus albums often contain printed lyrics, or at least they did.
@@jimbo9208 It's not out of the ordinary to learn lyrics to a song in 20 days. I also assume the CD had a lyric sheet, so it makes even more sense that she'd memorize the lyrics.
that 70 show started in the late 70's too. Eric sees Star Wars 1st or 2nd season & it came out in 1977 but the show ran 8 seasons. Don't look to these shows for continuity.
That's mainly because the early 70s still felt like the mid- late 60s, so the creators wanted to start it later on in the decade. I think they even chose 1976 so they could do a Star Wars episode (As mid-way through season 1, the year changed to 1977).
The creators had no way of anticipating that the show would go on for 8 seasons, so it's not totally their fault they stayed so long in 1978 😂 Sure they could have either stopped after season 4 or 5, but the show was so successful, of course they'd continue on. They also could have continued onto the '80s, but that ruins the premises of the show
@loganarnoldkicks4321 you can say that about any decade. The early years always feel like the previous. Early 90's stuff feels very 80's. As someone who turned 13 in 1999, it all felt very 90's to me.
Besides that, the timeline wouldn't really make sense for the early 90's since they were practically in the 80's when the last show ended & they have a teenager now.
Regardless, the predecessor set the standard for suspending disbelief.
@@Erana86 agreed
Perhaps they show the happenings of many days too. There ARE 365 days in a year, and many episodes could have split one day into two or three episodes. Think this way: one episode in school or just after school, another episode one that same day focusing on their food hangout or smoking in the basement, than one on their nighttime activity.
That Cheez-It box near the Pringles was wrong as well. It has the little green logo meaning they are White Cheddar Cheezits which didn't come out until the 2000's.
Nothing in the store was right except
It was the reduced fat version actually not the white cheddar
You can see on the box the crackers are orange
the whole timeline of the show is incredibly inconsistent too
Number 8 could have been another Tad Nugent situation.
Number 6 is a stretch since Leia was hallucinating and could have come up with the updated design herself. (Maybe it's foreshadowing?)
Number 5 could be that Nate is such a Packers fan that he got the jersey custom made.
Number 3, you sufficiently explained.
Also, with Leia's hallucination, a lot of us thought video game graphics looked THAT high quality to us, despite how it actually looks. We just didn't notice until those graphics aged.
@@ShadowSora8491 Absolutely! Remember how realistic we thought Tomb Raider was? It was like a live action movie, or so we somehow thought.
@@ecnalreleam Hell! I thought The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was realistic. Same with Goldeneye 007.
@@ShadowSora8491 Or GTA: San Andreas when it first came out until we saw the final version of the Definitive Edition (after all the updates).
Number 5 maybe he watched the draft, was excited and than decided to go buy it as soon as possible, to show his believe in the new player
Okay I can explain the early copy if Jagged Little Pill. That song had traction at the time so the album was really hyped. If you were a savvy music fan you had that one music store you would go to because they would just put stuff out well before the the street date. Plenty of my CDs were acquired days before the actual release date.
It's actually easier than that. Jagged Little Pill was released in June 1995. The single was released in July.
But you're definitely right about having the right hook ups at a music store. I used to get some tapes a week early. Memories.
I have a curious question. Would Ozzie be safe coming out in the 1990s?
I was a grammar school kid in the 90s, but I remember it wasn't easy for the LGBT community back then.
Sure we had Ellen and Will and Grace, but that doesn't mean homophobia wasn't common, especially in grammar schools, the most common homophobic joke was "are you gay? Does your momma know you're gay?" Either answer to that was a trap.
Sadly i was thinking the same thing.
Especially in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin
Exactly my thoughts.
Being overweight would have been more problematic for him imo.
I wish we can go back to that.
Don't support mental illness.
Instead of now... where that sh*t is being shoved down our throats at every waking moment. It's an abomination
Sign of the times.
Everything!!!!! I was the same age as them in the nineties and this got everything wrong.
The slang, the outfits of the adults (Red dresses like a teenage grunge fan.) the music references of songs that haven’t been released, the openness and acceptance of childhood homosexuality the graphics in Leia’s hallucination. They got it all wrong.
Daria would be the closet thing to an actual That 90s Show
Its the first season... Stop nit picking every little thing... Plus you guys are wrong about the Alanis Morisserte album release...
It’s like they don’t know what year they have it set in
Nobody said "onnit", Nobody! Nobody said totes, fleek and being lit only meant you were high and or drunk .a.f.
"Onnit" is used in the 1994 film the crow starring Brandon lee...totes is def a 90s term...fleek and lit you got right
@@scottyprince87 seen the crow countless times... "I'll get right on it" does not count and nobody said totes... they said "Totally" not totes... I was 15-25 during the 90's I lived it so nobody is going to push me into believing something happened when it absolutely did not.
Jagged Little Pill released in June '95
Thank you!!!
Cassette tapes were very popular then CD players weren't so popular because they skipped you sneeze or bumped them very gently they skipped. In my town in the 90s the adult section was behind the checkout counter with a heavy curtain.
As a kid who had his head stuck in those big ass Sony headphones. I stuck with tapes way after CDs became the norm. Reason being. More durable, could carry more and Walkmans were better suited for movement than Discmans.
Our dirty mags in the store were just the top rows of a section in clear wrap. They changed to black in like 2000ish and then faded out. It's just different where ever you go.
With them trying to make it blossom meets Will & Grace they were going to mess up on a lot of details they were more trying to be woke than right
I’m lost on the ‘itos comment. I remember all those snacks. Now the logos were wrong but we had all those chips when I went to school. I remember when cool ranch hit the shelves when I was in school. So… what is futuristic about that besides the logos?
That entry was just about the logos.
9:08 Actually, the album had already came out on June 13, 1995. The single version of the song is the one that came out on July 6, 1995, not Jagged Little Pill itself. It had already been out for two weeks on the date the show’s pilot took place on. And even if that was the case, the song would have already been on the radio airwaves.
I just can't get past the horrible acting. I don't believe any of the kids. They don't mesh together like the 70s show. They look like they're all trying waayy too hard.
It's literally their first 10 episodes and they're 3-4 years younger than all the actors except Mila Kunis in the first season of that 70s show. That's a huge experience gap when you're entire time on earth is 15 or 16 years. The last 4-5 episodes were markedly better than the first half of the season. I look for that continuity to get better as they go along and get to know each other more offscreen. Gotta remember stuff is filmed differently today than it was back in 1998. These kids probably only knew each other for a couple weeks before they filmed the entire 10 episodes. That 70s show had 25 episodes the first season and they were literally only making 1 per week so that means they basically were all hanging out together for months on end. So by 5-6 episodes in, they had already been around each other more than these kids did filming this entire season.
I think given all that and the fact that they're all 15-16 years old, they did a pretty decent job for the first 10 episodes. I look for it to feel more natural this season, and getting 6 more episodes helps too.
The William Henderson jersey is possible, its common to buy jerseys for rookies your excited for.
Anybody who considered themselves edgy or a "riot grrl" in the 90s would NEVER have listened to Alanis. She was extremely mainstream and indie types would scoff at anyone listening to it.
I totally agree. I listened to a lot of female musicians as a teen in the ‘90s and I never liked Alanis. You Oughta Know did not feel authentic to me. It seemed like she was just trying to cash in on female rage since it was trendy at the time. I preferred listening to bands like Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, Hole, L7, and Babes in Toyland when I wanted to let out my angst.
@@besskorey7403 Yeah. My husband listened to those bands and rolled his eyes when I was describing the “Riot Grrrl” was singing Alanis. He was all, “It was a ‘zine by Bikini Kill to review their favourite bands by their friends! It wasn’t a “movement”’ as he sighed heavily. 🤣
@@besskorey7403 For real, Alanis was only a Riot Grrl for the group of women that would come to be be called "soccer moms". The kind of stuff mom and her friends would crank up and drunkenly sing along to when they swam too deep into the ever present box of Franzia in the fridge at the family barbecue lol. A few years after this it was Shania Twain
I only noticed The Lost World one on my first viewing
this make me in tears. because i grew up in the 2000's and even back then if you were gay or lesbian you would be outcasted, abused, bullied, and back then there was no LGBTQ++ movement. sure gay people existed and i personally know one guy at my high school that was bullied to the extreme. but back then even if you were gay and bullied the authorities or the "system" would not care about you because being gay considerd a bad thing. even by the media. its funny how the media today is preaching for LGBTQ acceptence. in the 2000's they were laughing at them and even bullied them on national TV. so you tell me that teenagers in the 90's would just accept a gay guy like that? no frikin way. being gay and even being open about it in the 90's was a death sentence. in reality he would be bullied and isolated hard
Getting your “groove” back was a saying in the black community before “how Stella got her groove back” came out yt people literally don’t understand the culture though and this channel always proves it
Another movie that's stocked too early is Con Air. Didn't come out until 97.
Jerseys of NFL rookies get released in stores after they are drafted. But I guess that’s for first round draft picks.
Season 2 of That 90s Show? I say add Culver's to the mix, along with Copps Food Center aka Pick N Save, Wisconsin Dells, Menards and Johnsonville! I will love you even more for it.
Mega Foods, Culvers, Famous Daves, Holiday Gas, Speedway Gas.
Is it me? I don't remember people using the word "rando" in the 90s. I figured that term came about due to engaging with random people on the internet post 90s.
They didn't you're not wrong
Ozzie is to flamboyant for the time. seems in every show now there is the token gay person and he was shoved in to just fill the status quo
Yes. Ozzie has to go. It was not cool to be gay in the 90s. I grew up in Wisconsin.
@@blacksquirrelhomesteadsame here. I graduated in 2010 and people were still giving gay kids shit in our school.
All the characters dress too nicely and look like they make TikTok’s
I've heard people complain about the Donkey Kong stuff, but I think it looks like a fine representation of DKC's CGI-into-sprite graphics considering she envisioning it over her three-dimensional grandparents
Not to mention it's a hallucination, not an actual video game.
It’s not that different from Playststion or SEGA Saturn graphics at the time.
@@54raynor RIght, but it's specifically referencing Donkey Kong. But I think it's close enough to the 3D models converted into sprites to still be a decent reference.
@@theotakux5959 for sure a decent reference, and it wouldn’t be much of a stretch for a hallucinating person to merge the design of Donkey Kong with the top graphics of the day.
@@54raynor Yeah, it being a hallucination gives it more wiggle room
Man, people have WAY too much time on their hands.
the computer. presumably it's win95, released August 24
Leia's 15th birthday is July 19 (show wiki)
Speaking of, neither Donna nor Jackie was pregnant on NYE 1979... nor were either with their respective partners.
The computer is an Apple Macintosh Performa. But they messed the dial up sound up, it didn't actually dial the numbers, just did a handshake.
i noticed that there were more woke gay people in the show than in the 90s
Not what woke means but I agree as I grew up in Wisconsin and nobody was really coming out in the 90s
They’ve missed the baggy jeans and short sleeve T-shirts worn over turtlenecks.
I'm pretty sure the phrase was said way before Stelle Got her grove back
Not as a common phrase.
Red and kitty setting up a computer with internet access in 1995
I had several friends with home computers and dial up internet in 1995. The first dial up internet services were available 3 years before that.
When Ozzie went bungee diving X2 roller coaster was in the background. It came out in 2002 and was pink then. Plus it’s in Six Flags Magic Mountain in California.
“That 90s Show” just put a vacancy sign on its ass, and my foot is looking for a room. I found plenty of rooms on this list.
They should have done what the Goldbergs did. Every episode starts with this was 1980 Somethin. That way they don't have to conform to 1-year.
@Jermaine Anthony lol they could have done it similar. Just dai "ok it's the 90s. " and not tie it down to a specific year
The original show labeled each year the season took place in too, and it was also filled with inaccuracies. This is just the reality of making period pieces and making do with whatever props you have
Jagged little pill came out in June 1995, so no anachronism here…
What Nate’s Packers jersey actually says is that he is a fan of both the Green Bay Packers and North Carolina Tar Heels.
While William Henderson was not drafted by the Packers until that April, he had played four years of college football at North Carolina. It’s very believable that Nate would be drawn to Henderson naturally as both a fan and a player of the sport, since neither plays what could be considered a glamorous position.
Its a guilty pleasure for me as I am of exactly the same age as most of the kids on the show, but man there are a lot of anachronisms. You'd think there would have been somebody willing to do a little more fact checking when they were doing the episode, I mean jesus just pull out your smartphone and do a Google search. That's the thing that bugs me the most, the fact that they could have easily resolved all the mistakes but they just didn't care to.
JEEZ!!! Is watchmojo obsessed with 70s/90s show.
Asian women with white men. Pervasive in the 90s. Still pervasive and critically uncriticized.
great video
The video game graphics was done that way for two reasons. First, licensing from Nintendo is expensive. Two, the alteration is just for the story. Also, Jagged little pill songs did play on the radio prior to the album release to promote sales.
Just because the single wasn't out doesn't mean the whole album hadn't been released. A quick Google search shows Jagged Little Pill being released in June of 95
I am more irritated by the overuse of bro in a Midwest suburb. I can only explain it away by convincing myself that 9ne of them had just come back from vacation from someplace it was used.
The World I Know wasn't released until October of 1995. I guess it's more about nostalgic memories than details, lending weight to the fan theories about That 70s Show that we're not in "real time" but in the head of one of the characters (most popularly Fez).
But the album "Collective Soul" was released in March 1995. "The World I Know" was released as a single in October that year.
It's the same thing this channel got wrong about the Alanis Morrisette song. The album "Jagged Little Pill" was released in June 1995, the single released later.
I’m glad season 2 has been confirmed.
You know get your groove back isn't a reference to the movie or book by said name its just cause the mom said it
The Grove back comment was something sad before the movie came out. . . The movie stole it from normal people saying it. Plus the movies are always behind in trends
The one thing missing that one is is talking is 90s camera quality.
That 70s show has a 90s ford driving around in the intro theme
the biggest thing it gets wrong, is the kids are way to old. unless the 70 show cast had them right after the end of the last season
You're going to have to do another video to follow up on the next 2 seasons. For example they've got the wwe title belt, and in the 90s the belt was still the wwf belt, and they have a lotion heat version of Eddie Guerrero poster in the wrestling episode and that when he had short hair. He didn't have short hair until his ruthless aggression era run before he unfortunately passed away.
Disagree with the donkey kong scene. 1. youre not getting the rights from nintendo to copy anything donkey kong or make it even remotely close, hense the wild CGI versions. We ALL knew what they are going for. and 2. when hasnt someone went back and played a game from their childhood, only to remember it not looking anything like it did when you played it originally. We always think old school games looked way better than they did before actually playing them again. Hence the more HD CGI. Thats how we all saw the games we played in our heads.
The donkey kong hallucination is the graphics from the donkey king animated series.
Personally I don't care 👌🏼
It's a show set in the 90s it's not meant to be taken that deeply just let things be.
I don't know about you but it's not that deep.
if you going to set a show in the 90's you might as well get it historical right
@@jimbo9208 if only it was about the 90s. But it's not even focused on that. They're focused on the lives of people. So again it shouldn't be that deep if you wanna see a show based on 90s things go watch that. The main focus is on characters.
Loved that 70s show so tried the 90s show. Painfully boring and ridiculous. Not worth the time. Characters are so boring and have zero personalities.
I'll excuse the three-day timeline gaff on the Alanis Morrisette release, but the lack of research on the background foods in the scenes is off-putting! Gen X and Millennials will easily remember the partially white background on the Doritos bags. I don't keep up with football, so I wasn't aware of those. Also, due to the Batman Forever hype, I remember Seal's "Kiss by a Rose" playing all over the radio, constantly, non-stop... surprised they didn't play into that one.
You think this is something? In the S03E06 episode of The Wonder Years ("Odd Man Out"), it's supposed to take place in 1969 yet Kevin is clearly shown holding a handful of 1989 Topps cards! I guess Kevin must have a Delorean in his garage???
Also in Mama's, the Coke twelve packs are the wrong shape for 1995. They use to sit like two six packs sitting side by side.
This show was terrible and completely inaccurate. Fez’s dumb commercial was in Widescreen and HD and the effects looked like modern effects you can get today. The Pinciotti Kitchen layout is completely wrong and Donna’s bedroom was never in the first level. The thing that bothered me the most was Brian Austin Green’s appearance. He’s like 50 now and they had him play himself in the 90s and he was not 50 in the 90s.
The Donkey Kong part is a hallucination so it is not supposed to an accurate depiction just relate to her last conversation or what was on her mind.
Yeah the clothes and the language nobody talked like that and the zesty kid would not have been so out with back then.
There seems to be a very new either furnace or water heater in the basement
